If you use Windows 2000 or Windows XP on your M571 sytstem AND you have an AMD K6 3 processor with its on-chip Level 2 cache, it may be advantageous to install two 128 MB CAS 2 PC100 or PC133 DIMMs for a total of 256 MB of system memory. Not all 128 MB DIMMs will work in an M571; they are not officially supported by PcChips or any available BIOS. Due to the constraints of the M571, a “single sided” 128 MB DIMM will not work. Single Sided 128 MB DIMMs can be identified by their having eight memory chips on one side of the DIMM. The M571 is not able to handle memory chips with this level of density. “Double sided” memory has 8 chips on each side of the DIMM, for 16 chips per DIMM. Some of these DIMMs are logically double sided: The memory chips on them are similar to the ones used on single sided 64 MB DIMMs. These 128 MB DIMMs usually work. But, Some 128 MB DIMMs have 16 memory chips, eight per side, but are arranged to be logically single sided. These 128 MB DIMMs will not work in an M571. I am not able to give an authoritative list of what 128 MB DIMMs do work and which ones do not, so I suggest that if you intend to use 128 MB DIMMs in your M571, you make sure that you can try them out to see if they work first.
